you do not have an appalling body. i don’t care if you suffer from multi-drug-resistant lepromatous leprosy, your body is awesome and badass and beautiful in its own way.

You poor darling!

I’m sure it’s fine! Lots of people here in the States eat muesli too, but granola is much more popular. Muesli did enjoy a brief vogue in the late ‘80s (yes, I totally remember that far back, WITH EASE), but it just didn’t catch on somehow.

Ha! Right back atcha!

Yes, I do make my own dough. Yeast is so fun! I get the lamb freshly ground from a local butcher because a) I find quite lean lamb makes the best filling, and b) we are very lucky to have a wonderful butcher nearby who sells local, pastured meats.

Do you eat meat? I’ve found that the secret to ridiculously delicious sfeeha (lamb pies) is a TON of sumac. So. Freaking. Good. And I don’t normally even like meat very much.

What a great idea! Sumac = utter deliciousness.

It’s super weird how many people — smart people, people who can count and stuff — don’t get the quantity factor.

So true.

The PROSECUTION of the TSA agents, plus a few mil. Those assholes shouldn’t just lose their jobs. They should suffer some real consequences.

I’m sorry. That sucks. I hope you have a safe and peaceful journey!

Exactly.

I would wait in line for an autographed copy!

I’m not CineCraft, nor am I defending her. I DID criticize you, not because I think Cinecraft to be right but because I believe you to be wrong in a different way.

No. I don’t think you needed to pat cinecraft on the back. Why would I suggest you do any such thing? It’s clear that you disagree with her position. Obviously, you have every right to tell her what you think.

You are an outstanding writer.

I think almost everyone has some kind of mental illness, whether it’s been diagnosed or not. Good luck managing yours!

Hey, slow down there. CineCraft’s remark was certainly unsympathetic, but I think your response is way overblown. Tolerance works in multiple directions, you know?

You’re so right. But I must say, I don’t think you were particularly nice to CineCraft just now. S/he DIDN’T seem prepared to give other people a break, and that’s not ideal — but your response definitely kicked things up a notch. If she was unsympathetic, you were actually snarky. Just saying.

That story just made my day. I wish I were a nurse! I have lupus, so I’ve spent my fair share of time in hospitals, and nurses fucking ROCK. Tell your sister I said thank you for her service!
